This typeface is built from straight, monoline strokes with sharp junctions and an almost entirely curve-free construction. Letterforms are highly faceted, relying on triangular counters, chevron terminals, and diamond-like bowls in place of rounded shapes; diagonals dominate the rhythm and create a pointed, zigzag texture across words. Proportions feel compact and tight, with simplified forms and occasional open structures (notably in several uppercase characters) that emphasize the stroke geometry over traditional closed bowls. The overall spacing and stroke behavior are consistent, giving the face a crisp, etched silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to logos, titles, posters, and short bursts of text where the angular texture can be a feature rather than a hurdle. It works especially well for fantasy or sci‑fi branding, game titles/UI elements, album art, and packaging that benefits from a carved, symbolic look. For longer reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font conveys a runic, arcane tone—suggesting inscriptions, talismans, or fantasy worldbuilding—while also reading as synthetic and techno due to its rigid geometry and sharp facets. Its aggressive angles and symbol-like constructions add a ritualistic, coded flavor that feels intentionally nonstandard and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a sans skeleton through a runic, faceted lens—prioritizing sharp geometry, emblematic counters, and a carved/inscribed feel. It aims to deliver immediate atmosphere and a distinctive voice, turning everyday Latin text into something that reads like stylized glyphwork.
Many glyphs substitute familiar curves with wedges and diamonds, creating distinctive counters and a strong pattern when set in lines. The alphabet has a deliberately stylized readability: recognizable Latin structures are present, but the angular simplification and frequent diagonals give the text a cipher-like character. Numerals and punctuation follow the same faceted logic, keeping the set visually unified.
